Evergreen Shrubs

When the temperature gets colder, plants are unable to draw liquid water from the soil. Many evergreen shrubs have tightly wrapped leaves or needles that do not dry out. Junipers, globe spruce and arborvitae have been popular as foundation plantings for many years. One of the most popular evergreen shrubs in recent times is the boxwood.
